the law must specifically identify a class of people to be punished,

the class is anyone "supporting" the NRA by offering a discount to the NRA or NRA members.

impose a punishment, and do so without judicial trial.

The punishment is being refused city contracts, because they support the NRA
edit: I tool another look at the linked text, and it does not state contracts would be refused. it says this
Quote:
The City’s residents deserve to know if the City’s public funds are spent on contractors that have contractual or sponsorship ties with the NRA. Public funds provided to such contractors undermines the City’s efforts to legislate and promote gun safety;

so while it doesn't specifically say you won't get the contract, how likely are they to award City money to those who undermine their efforts..etc??
And yes, I understand that while this seems clear to myself and the rest of the great unwashed, its something arguable in legal circles.
